Among the chiefs are Standing Bull, Bear Who Looks Back Running, Has the Big White Horse, White Tail, Liver Bear, Little Thunder, Bull Dog, High Hawk, Lame and Eagle Pipe. The men have blankets wrapped around their shoulders. One man, either Liver Bear or Little Thunder, stands in the center of the semi- circle holding his left hand out, palm facing up.
